THIS NOTICE DESCRIBES HOW MEDICAL
INFORMATION ABOUT YOU MAY BE USED AND DISCLOSED AND HOW YOU CAN GET ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION. PLEASE REVIEW IT CAREFULLY.
If you have any questions about this Notice, please contact our
Privacy Officer at the number listed at the end of this Notice.
Each time you visit a healthcare provider, a record of your visit
is made. Typically, this record contains your symptoms, examination and test results, diagnoses, treatment, a plan for future care or treatment, and billing-related information. This Notice applies to all of the records of your care generated by your health care provider.
Our Responsibilities
Hand Surgical Associates, Inc. is required by law to maintain the privacy of your health information and to provide you with a description of our legal duties and privacy practices regarding your health information. The current Notice will be posted in the waiting room and on our website at
www.bostonhand.com. The notice will include the effective date. In addition, we will make our best effort to provide you with a copy of this notice that we request you acknowledge with your signature.
We are required by law to abide by the terms of this Notice and
notify you if we make changes to this Notice, which may be at any time. Changes to the Notice will apply to your medical information that we already maintain as well as new information received after the change occurs. If we change our Notice, it will be posted in the waiting room and on our
website at www.bostonhand.com. You may also request that a revised Notice be sent to you in the mail or you may ask for one at your next appointment or appropriate visit. This Notice will also serve to advise you as to your rights with regard to your medical information.
How We May Use and Disclose Medical Information About
You.
The following categories describe examples of the way we use and disclose medical information:
For Treatment: We may use medical information about you to provide, coordinate and manage your treatment or services. We may disclose medical information about you to other doctors, nurses, technicians, medical students, or other
personnel who are involved in your care. We may also disclose medical information to clinical laboratories and imaging facilities during the course of your care and treatment. For example, a laboratory or medical specialist
may need to know information about you to run tests or to provide treatment.
We may also provide a subsequent healthcare provider with copies of various reports that should assist him or
her in treating you. For example, your medical information may be provided to a physician to whom you have been referred so as to ensure that the physician has appropriate information regarding your previous treatment and diagnosis.
For Payment: We may use and disclose medical information about your treatment and services to bill and collect payment
from you, your insurance company or a third party payer. For example, we may need to give your insurance company information before it approves or pays for the health care services we recommend for you. The insurance company may use that information in connection with making a determination of eligibility or coverage for insurance benefits, reviewing services provided to you for medical
necessity, and undertaking utilization review activities. For example, obtaining approval for a hospital stay may require that your relevant protected health information be disclosed to the health plan to obtain approval for the hospital admission.
For Health Care Operations: We may use or disclose, as needed, your health information in order to support our
business activities. These activities may include, but are not limited quality assessment activities, employee review activities, training of medical students, licensing, marketing, legal advice, accounting support, medical records storage and conducting or arranging for other business activities. For example, we provide medical records to a storage company for long-term safekeeping. In addition, we may also call you
by name in the waiting room when your physician is ready to see you. We may use or disclose your protected health information, as necessary, to contact you to remind you of your appointment by telephone.
Business Associates: There are some services provided in our organization through contracts with business associates. Examples include quality accounting, legal services, billing
services, transcription services, billing/collection agencies, and record storage services. When these services are contracted, we may disclose your health information to our business associate so that they can perform the job that we have asked them to do and bill you or your third-party payer for services rendered. To protect your health information,
however, we require the business associate to appropriately safeguard your information through a written contract.
Other Permitted and Required Uses and Disclosures That
May Be Made With Your Consent, Authorization or
Opportunity to Object
We also may use and disclose your health information as set forth below. You have the opportunity to agree or object to the use or disclosure of all or part of your health information in these instances. If you are not present or able to agree or object
to the use or disclosure of the health information (such as in an emergency situation), then your clinician may, using professional judgment, determine whether the disclosure is in your best interest. In this case, only the information that is relevant to your health care will be disclosed.
Individuals Involved in Your Care or Payment for Your Care:
Unless you object, we may release medical information about you to a friend or family member who is involved in your medical care or who helps to pay for your care. In addition, we
may disclose medical information about you to an entity assisting in a disaster relief effort so that your family can be notified about your condition, status and location.
Future Communications: We may communicate to you via
newsletters, mailings or other means regarding treatment options; information on health-related benefits or services, disease- management programs, wellness programs; to assess your satisfaction with our services; to remind you that you have an appointment for medical care; as part of fund raising
efforts; for population based activities relating to improving health or reducing health care costs; for conducting training programs or reviewing competence of health care professionals; or other community based initiatives or activities in which our facility is participating. If you are not interested in receiving these materials, please contact our Privacy Officer.

Request Confidential Communications: You have the right
to request that we communicate with you about medical matters in a certain way or at a certain location. We will agree to the request to the extent that it is reasonable for us to do so. For example, you can ask that we use an alternative address for billing purposes. We ask that you submit these requests in writing.
